Question

A pizza shop sells pizzas that are 10 inches (in diameter) or larger. A 10-inch cheese pizza costs

Answer 1

Answer:

A pizza shop sells pizzas that are 10 inches orr larger. A 10-inch cheese pizza costs $8 and each additional costs $1.50 and each additional topping costs $0.75.

The equation that represents the cost of a pizza is:

P = $10 + $1.50a + $0.75b

Where 'a' represents the number additional inches and 'b' represents the number of additional toppings.

Answer 2

Answer: $T=8+ 1.50 x+0.75y$ , where 'x' denotes the number of additional inch to the pizza and 'y' denotes the number of additional toppings.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'x' denotes the number of additional inch to the pizza and 'y' denotes the number of additional toppings.

Given : A 10-inch cheese pizza costs  $8.

i.e. Fixed cost = $8

Each additional inch costs $1.50, and each additional topping costs $0.75.

∴ Cost of additional inch = $1.50 x

∴ Cost of additional topping = $0.75y

Then The Total cost of any pizza would be :

Total cost = Fixed cost + Cost of additional inch + cost of additional topping

= $8+ $1.50 x+$0.75y

⇒ Equation  that represents the cost of a pizza :

$T=8+ 1.50 x+0.75y$
